Trouble in the Pacific.

The persecution OF the missionaries OF the
American Board by the Spanish authorities
In the Caroline Islands has led to riot In
Ponape, the largest island In the group. The
natives have overthrown their rulers and
killed the Governor, and the Spaniards have
sent 5000 miles to Manila for troops to restore
order. The islanders are siding with their
old friends the missionaries, against the
new corners, whom they never saw before,
though the Spaniards soy they have been
the rightful rulers Of the Caroline Islands for
three centuries.
Hundreds Of thousands OF the Sunday
school children Of America have helped to
maintain these missions in Micronesia which
for the first time are now In sore af1iiction.
1t was their pennies that built the Morning
Star, the best known Of all missionary YES
sells, which, with the two briggs Of the same
name that succeeded her. have piled for
over thirty years among the young mission
stations OF these verdant little islands. For
ty-five churches and over four thousand
communicates are only part Of the results
Of these many~yenrs Of labor; for the ma
tives OF the whole Of eastern Micronesia
have been greatly influenced for good by
hundreds Of American and native Christian
teachers. On some of the islands the entire
population, old and young, have recently
been In school.
The missionaries were permitted to pursue
their work in peace until two Years and a
half ago, when Germany's coiony-hunger
aroused the jealousy OF Spain and induced
her to .resurrect her ancient claim to the
IN rf,Iua Than for irpa IN
twenty-five years, as the missionaries say,
Spanish vessels began to appear in the har-
bors. Soon Spanish Governors were landed,
perfect strangers took control OF civil affairs.
and the natives, who had imagined that they
were getting on very peacefully and hap
PLY, were much surprised OF sudden to
find that they were subjects of Spain and
that new system OF government had come
among them.
The Spaniards assert that some of the
missionaries have melted the natives to dis
regard the laws promulgated under the new
dispensation. This charge is denied by the
missionaries, but, In spite of their disavowal,
their work has been seriously interrupted,
and one Of the Oldest and best known Of
them has been imprisoned ON Spanish
man-0f-war.
The American Board and their friends are
urging our Government to exert its good
Offices in behalf Of their prosecuted agents.
1t IS to be hoped that the inen who have
planted many schools and churches in these
beautiful islands, may not sec their good
work destroyed by this Spanish invasion,
which has just received temporary repulse
In the lar gest island OF the Carollnes.

Democratic sentiment in Brooklyn IL
strongly in favor Of making State Comptroller
Alfred @. Chaplin the candidate for Mayor. As
soon as 1t was announced on Monday that no
declined to seek denomination for his present
office the politicians began to discuss his
name in connection with the Mayoralty, and 1t
il conceded that he Is by far the strongest man
that could be named by the Democrats. Re-
publican asDirants for tho nomination have
been thrown into confusion over the prospect
OF finding Mr.. Chapins name at the head of

tired from the contest. Should Mr.. Chaplin be
nominated, 1t is thought that the Republican
leaders. in their despair will bring great PRESS

enter the race. A contest between Chaplin and
Low at the polls would be very interesting

Monkeys Opening Oysters-

So many people have expressed their
surprise at hearing that l constantly saw
monkeys breaking open oysters with a
stone on the island OF South Burmah.
that it may be of interest to give short
description Of their method of using such
u tool. The low water rocks of the islands
of the Mergu; archipelago are covered
with oysters, large and small. A mon.
key, probably macaeus cynomolgls.
which infests these islands. prowls about
the shore when the tide is low. opening
the rock oyster with stone, by striking
the base of the upper valves until it dis
locates end breaks up. He then extracts
the oyster with his finger and thumb. oc-
casionally putting his mouth straight to
the broken shell. On disturbing them l
generally found that they had selected a
stone more apparently for convenience in
handling than for its value as hammer.
and it was smaller III proportion to what
Il human being would have selected for a
proporticnate amount of work. In short,
it was usually Il stone they could get their
fingers round.
As the rocks crop up through the low
water mud. the stone had 20 be brought
from high water mark, this distance
varying from ten to eighty yards. This
monkey hes chosen the easiest way to
open the rock oyster. viz. to dislocate

Peculiar ties of the Swordfish

When excited. Professor Goode SAYS,
the swordfish's motions are most quick
and nervous. The fish are sometimes seen
to leap entirely out of the water. The
pointed head, the fins on the back and
abdomen simply fitting into grooves, the
absence OF ventrals. the long. 1.-the. mus
cular body, sloping slowly to the tail, fit
it for the most rapid and forcible move
ment through the water. 1t strikes with
the accumulated force Of fifteen double
headed hammers. Its velocity is equal to
that of a swivel shot and is as dangerous
in its effects as heavy artillery projec-
tile. Many very curious instances are on
record of the encounters Of this fish with
other fishes. or Of their attacks upon
ships. What can be the inducement for
it to attack objects SO much larger than
itself it is hard to slrmise. 1t surely
seems as if a temporary insanity some
times takes possession of the fish. An old
swordfsherman told Mr.. Blackford that
his vessel had been struck twenty times.
There are. however, many instances Of
entirely unprovoked assault on vessels at
sea.-New York Nail and Express.
